Shark Island - Kosrae
Shark Island, off Kosrae, is exactly what it sounds like. We’ve had consistent encounters with grey reef sharks here, often patrolling the reef edge where it drops into deeper water. It's a drift dive, best suited for those comfortable with some current, allowing you to cover more ground and increase your chances of seeing the bigger pelagics. Expect solid shark action, a good option for a dedicated shark dive.
